You have to figure that VSC may have engaged as well depending on the road condition, it does help keep you on the straight and narrow in an emergency.

I don't know about compared to other cars, but I say that compared to my last car the brakes on my new 2006 Prius are amazingly sensitive and responsive. I still haven't become 100% used to them, and as a result sometimes hit them a tad too hard when trying to come to a stop.

My biggest fear isn't whapping someone ahead of me. My biggest fear is that something ahead of me will happen (as in this case, or a simple sudden stop), I'll hit the breaks too hard, stop too fast, and get rear-ended by the tailgater behind me.
